We’re looking for freelance illustrators with a strong focus on character design and visual storytelling.

You’ll help bring unique characters to life through concept art, illustration, and 2D or 3D design.

We’re open to a range of styles and aesthetics — from stylized to realistic — as long as your work shows a strong sense of personality, appeal, and design clarity.

Our internal team will collaborate with you to refine and translate the work to meet final project needs, so flexibility and openness to feedback are key.

Responsibilities

  • Create compelling 2D and/or 3D character designs and concept art based on creative briefs.
  • Develop high-quality illustrations that capture personality, emotion, and storytelling.
  • Collaborate with the internal art direction team to refine designs and align with project goals.
  • Adapt to different aesthetics and visual directions as needed.

Qualifications

  • Proven experience in character design, illustration, and/or 3D design work.
  • Strong portfolio showing a range of character-based artwork.
  • Proficiency in tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Indesign, Procreate, Blender, ZBrush, or similar.
  • Ability to take feedback and iterate quickly.
  • Self-driven, communicative, and reliable with deadlines.

Nice to Have

  • Understanding of visual storytelling, gesture, and silhouette.
  • Comfort experimenting with new styles or creative directions.
